Newcastle United is well on course to return to the Premier League next season, and the current success on the pitch could be joined by happy news off it soon. According to the Daily Mirror, the club discussed a possible return of the iconic 'Newcastle Brown Ale' sponsor to replace Wonga.

Newcastle Brown Ale to Return as Club Sponsor?

Fans have been quick to create Photoshops of the iconic sponsor logo instead of the dreaded Wonga one, but everything is not as clear as some might like it to be. According to the report, Newcastle United approached the famous former sponsor about a return next season, but has been unable to agree a deal with brand owner Heineken.

This means that, as the current £9 million per annum deal with Wonga is up after the current season, Newcastle is still looking for a new shirt sponsor.
